From the Land Down Under...

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

BYS Big Bang

Now that you have your earworm for the day, I am going to show you some some of the polishes I received from Michelle! (If you missed the Nail Mail post, click here) I first saw these BYS polishes on You've Got Nail. Now, Jacie can make anything look good, but when I saw these polishes I was ready to sell my firstborn. And it's a drug store brand! SCORE!

From the looks of this polish, you would think it was a neon; however it dried shiny, not matte! Isn't it gorgeous? The formula smelled horrible, but looks great. Slightly on the thick side, but totally managable. Kinda plasticy, if that makes sense. This is a trait I find in a lot of inexpensive non-US brands, and I LOVE IT!

BYS Out of the Blue over BYS Big Bang

I won't lie to you, Big Bang is fun, but unruly. I find all of this type of glitter unruly. Worth it!

BYS Matte Deep Purple

﻿My favorite kind of matte. I LOVE this satiny finish! I love how this shade of purple makes me look tan!

Two coats, best matte formula EVER! Thinking of wearing this as a pedi soon, I think it would be hot!

About Me

Hello! Welcome to polish insomniac, my little corner of the interwebz. This is where I share my passion for all things beauty. I started out obsessed with makeup, then in 2009 I discovered the wonderful world of nail polish. After a few years of blogging about strictly nails, I felt the urge to broaden my horizons and share my love of shopping, makeup and hair products. I have a slight obsession with eyeshadow palettes and IKEA.
